Former New York Jets LB C.J. Mosley retires from the NFL
Former New York Jets LB C.J. Mosley retires from the NFL CJ Mosley has called it a career. The five-time Pro Bowler has retired from the NFL. The 33-year-old, who last played in the league with the New York Jets last season, announced he's hangin' them up on Thursday: Mosley has been a free agent since March. The Jets released him in March after he missed much of the 2024 season due to various injuries including a neck problem. Mosley being sidelined did allow Jamien Sherwood to step into the lineup and become the top linebacker on New York's defense. According to ESPN, Mosley was designated as a post-June 1 cut, which means his remaining dead-cap hit will be spread across the next two years. Those totals are $8.8 million this year and $7.7 million in 2026. Mosley joined the Jets via a five-year, $85 million deal in 2019. Mosley earned three-straight Pro Bowls with the Baltimore Ravens before heading to New York. From 2019 to 2024, Mosley only earned one Pro Bowl with the Jets.
